Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

Answers:

1. CO₂ < Ar    < N₂ < He;

2.  Cl₂ < CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < H₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Graham’s Law applies to the diffusion of gases:

The rate of diffusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

r = \frac{1 }{\sqrt{M}}

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}

1. Order of diffusion rates

According to Graham's Law, the lightest gases will have the highest diffusion rates and the heavier gases the slowest.

The molecular masses of the gases are:

Ar 39.95; CO₂ 44.01; He 4.00; N₂ 28.02

Putting them in order,we get

44.01 > 39.95 > 28.02  > 4.00

CO₂   >    Ar     >     N₂    >   He

Thus, the relative rates of diffusion are

CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < He

2. Order of molecular speeds

A postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory is that at a given temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

KE = ½ mv² ∝ T

           mv² ∝ T      Divide each side by m

              v² ∝ T/m

If T is constant.

              v² ∝ 1/m     Take the square root of each side

               v ∝ 1/√m

This is an inverse relationship, so the molecules with the smallest molecular mass should have the highest average speeds.

The molecular masses of the gases are:

N₂ 28.02; H₂ 2.016; Cl₂ 70.91; CO₂ 44.01; Ar 39.95

Putting them in order. we get

70.91 > 44.01 > 39.95 > 28.02  > 2.016

   Cl₂   >  CO₂  >   Ar    >     N₂   >   H₂

Thus, the relative molecular speeds are

Cl₂ < CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < H₂

What is the mass of a wooden block with a density 2.0 and a volume of 7.0? (Need answer ASAP!!)
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

mass= 14kg

Explanation:

density= mass/volume

so that means mass= volume x density

m= 2kg/m³ x 7m³

m= 14 kg

Hope this helps

What features did you use to classify igneous rocks as extrusive or intrusive ?
umka21 [38]

Answer: Igneous rocks may be simply classified according to their chemical/mineral composition as felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic, and by texture or grain size: intrusive rocks are course grained (all crystals are visible to the naked eye) while extrusive rocks may be fine-grained (microscopic crystals) or glass.

Explanation: Hope this helped! :)
